Abstract
A core barrel head assembly having at least one electronic instrument that is configured to obtain orientation data; a power source; and a communication means to receive and/or transmit orientation data for use in a core sample down hole surveying and sample orientation system that is configured to provide an indication of the orientation of a core sample relative to a body of material from which the core has been extracted, and also to a method of core sample orientation identification.
Claims2
A core barrel head assembly having an exterior surface and comprising:
- a first interior cavity;
- a sealed interior cavity spaced distally from the first interior cavity and having a closed proximal end;
- a threaded proximal end portion for coupling to a wire line retrieval portion of a head assembly, wherein the first interior cavity extends distally from the threaded proximal end portion;
- a window that extends from the exterior surface into optical communication with the sealed interior cavity;
- at least one electronic instrument that is configured to obtain core orientation data, wherein the at least one electronic instrument comprises at least one digital and/or electro-mechanical sensor in a core orientation data recording tool;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit core orientation data,
- wherein the sealed interior cavity is sized and shaped to enclose the at least one electronic instrument.
